Sexuality is about how you think, act and feel. Part of your sexuality is your sexual identity. During puberty and our teen years we start to explore our sexuality and to figure out what we like.

You might feel unsure about your sexuality or who you find attractive might change during your life. Your sexual identity is something you should take time to decide about: what you like and feel comfortable with is different for everyone.

Some people may know from a very young age that they are gay, lesbian, bisexual or transgender and others may be confused about their sexuality right into adulthood. Working out whether you are gay, lesbian, bi or straight can be confusing. You don’t have to tell your friends anything about your sexuality or who you fancy unless you want to, but remember it does help to talk.

Coming out as LGBT can be a hugely positive experience – a liberating time, when you embrace your sexuality. Telling friends or family is not always easy but if you choose someone you trust, the chances are they will be supportive. Whatever your sexual identity, remember it is only one part of your life; so embrace how you are feeling and enjoy being individual.

It is important that you feel comfortable with your sexuality. This can take time, so don't worry if you don't feel completely comfortable If you need to talk to some one in confidence, there are people you can talk to.
